A search is performed for Higgs bosons produced in association with top quarks using the diphoton decay
mode of the Higgs boson. Selection requirements are optimized separately for leptonic and fully hadronic
nal states from the top quark decays. The dataset used corresponds to an integrated luminosity of
4.5 fb1 of protonproton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV and 20.3 fb1 at 8 TeV recorded
by the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. No signicant excess over the background
prediction is observed and upper limits are set on the t t H production cross section. The observed
exclusion upper limit at 95% condence level is 6.7 times the predicted Standard Model cross section
value. In addition, limits are set on the strength of the Yukawa coupling between the top quark and
the Higgs boson, taking into account the dependence of the t t H and t H cross sections as well as the
H branching fraction on the Yukawa coupling. Lower and upper limits at 95% condence level are
set at 1.3 and +8.0 times the Yukawa coupling strength in the Standard Model.

1. Introduction
After the decades-long search for the Higgs boson [13], a particle consistent with the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson has
been discovered at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) [4,5]. A notable property of the SM Higgs boson is its predicted large Yukawa
coupling to top quarks, Y tSM . The measurement of Y t is particularly important for understanding electroweak symmetry breaking
and allows for testing theories beyond the SM (BSM).
The value of Y t is indirectly tested by measurements sensitive
to gluon fusion, ggF, the dominant Higgs boson production mechanism at the LHC, which receives large contributions from loop
diagrams involving the top quark. In addition, Y t is probed in the
decay of the Higgs boson to two photons, H , as the decay
width also involves loop diagrams with top quarks [6]. However,
Y t can be directly measured in the production of topantitop quark
pairs, t t, in association with a Higgs boson [711], t t H .
The production of the Higgs boson in association with a single
top quark, t H ,1 is also sensitive to Y t . Three processes contribute
to t H production [1216]: t-channel (t Hqb) production, W t H pro-

duction and s-channel t H production. The s-channel production


is neglected in this Letter due to the much smaller cross section
compared to t Hqb and W t H production. Examples of Feynman diagrams for t Hqb and W t H production are shown in Fig. 1.
In the SM, t H production is suppressed by the destructive interference between t-channel diagrams with Higgs bosons emitted from top quark and W boson lines, as for example shown in
Fig. 1 (a) and Fig. 1 (b). In BSM theories [1316], however, Y t can
have non-SM values, and in particular the relative sign between Y t
and g H W W , which quanties the coupling between the Higgs boson and the W boson, can be different from the SM prediction,
which could lead to constructive instead of destructive interference
in t H production. Hence, the t H production cross section is not
only sensitive to the magnitude of Y t but, in contrast to t t H production, it is also sensitive to the relative sign of Y t with respect
to g H W W . A scale factor, t , is introduced to describe the relation
between Y t and its SM value: Y t = t Y tSM . Values of t = 1 imply modications of the BroutEnglertHiggs mechanism and are
assumed here to leave the top quark mass and decay properties
unchanged. Furthermore, only SM particles are assumed to contribute to the decay width of the Higgs boson.
This Letter reports a search for H in association with top
quarks using data recorded with the ATLAS detector [18]. Measurements in the H decay channel are challenging due to the

strip chambers provide a measurements of muon tracks in the
region || < 2.7. Resistive-plate and thin-gap chambers provide
muon triggering capability up to || < 2.4. A detailed description
of the ATLAS detector can be found in Ref. [18].
3. Data and Monte Carlo samples
3.1. Data samples

Data used for this analysis were recorded in pp collisions at


s = 7 TeV and 8 TeV in 2011 and 2012, respectively. All events

small branching fraction in the SM, BR( H ) = 2.28 103 for


Higgs boson masses, m H , around 125 GeV. However, the diphoton
nal state allows the diphoton invariant mass, m , to be reconstructed with excellent resolution, strongly reducing the contribution from the backgrounds, which have a falling m spectrum,
referred to as continuum background in the following. The contribution from the continuum background can be derived from
data sidebands, thus not relying on theory assumptions. A previous search for t t H production by the CMS Collaboration has explored hadronic, diphoton and leptonic nal states of the Higgs
boson [19], setting an upper limit at the 95% condence level (CL)
on the ratio of the observed t t H production cross section to the
SM expectation, called the signal strength tt H , of 4.5.
This Letter also reports lower and upper limits at 95% CL on t ,
taking into account the changes in the t t H and t H cross sections
as well as the H branching fraction [1416]. BSM theories
with values of Y t = Y tSM are hence constrained.
2. The ATLAS detector
The ATLAS detector consists of an inner tracking detector system, electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters, and an external
muon spectrometer. Charged particles in the pseudorapidity2 range
|| < 2.5 are reconstructed with the inner tracking detector, which
is immersed in a 2 T axial eld provided by a superconducting
solenoid, and consists of pixel and microstrip semiconductor detectors, as well as a straw-tube transition radiation tracker. The
solenoid is surrounded by sampling calorimeters, which span the
pseudorapidity range up to || = 4.9. High-granularity liquid-argon
(LAr) electromagnetic calorimeters are present up to || = 3.2.
Hadronic calorimeters with scintillator tiles as active material
cover || < 1.74, while LAr technology is used for hadronic
calorimetry from || = 1.5 to || = 4.9. Outside the calorimeter
system, air-core toroids provide a magnetic eld for the muon

ATLAS uses a right-handed coordinate system with its origin at the nominal interaction point (IP) in the centre of the detector and the z-axis along the beam
pipe. The x-axis points from the IP to the centre of the LHC ring, and the y-axis
points upward. Cylindrical coordinates (r , ) are used in the transverse plane, being the azimuthal angle around the beam pipe. The pseudorapidity is dened in
terms of the polar angle as = ln tan(/2). The transverse momentum is dened as p T = p sin = p / cosh , and the transverse energy E T has an analogous
denition.

satisfy data quality requirements ensuring proper functioning of


the detector and trigger subsystems. The resulting datasets correspond to integrated luminosities of 4.5 fb1 and 20.3 fb1 , respectively [20]. For the 7 TeV dataset, events were triggered with
a diphoton trigger with a threshold of 20 GeV on the transverse
energy of each photon candidate. For the 8 TeV dataset, these
thresholds were raised to 35 GeV for the highest-E T (leading) photon candidate and 25 GeV for the second-highest-E T (subleading)
photon candidate.
3.2. Monte Carlo samples
The contribution from the continuum background is directly
estimated from data. All processes involving H decays, however, are estimated using Monte Carlo (MC) simulation samples.
The production of t t H events is modeled using next-to-leadingorder (NLO) matrix elements obtained with the HELAC-Oneloop package [21], where Powheg-BOX [2224] is interfaced to
Pythia 8.1 [25] for showering and hadronization. CT10 [26] parton distribution functions (PDF) and the AU2 underlying event
tune [27,28] are used. Production of t Hqb is simulated with MadGraph [29] in the four-avor scheme with the CT10 PDF set, which
provides a better description of the kinematics of the spectator
b-quark than the ve-avor scheme [17]. Pythia 8.1 is used for
showering and hadronization. Production of W t H is simulated in
the ve-avor scheme by MadGraph5_aMC@NLO [30] interfaced
to Herwig++ [31] using the CT10 PDF set. All t H samples are
produced for three different values of t : 1, 0 and +1. In the
simulation of t t H , t Hqb and W t H processes, diagrams with Higgs
bosons radiated in the top quark decay are not taken into account
because such contributions are negligible [32].
Higgs boson production by ggF and vector-boson fusion (VBF)
is simulated with Powheg-BOX [33,34] interfaced to Pythia 8.1 for
showering and hadronization with CT10 PDF. Production of a Higgs
boson in association with a W or Z boson (W H , Z H ) is simulated
with Pythia 8.1 using CTEQ6L1 [35] PDF.
All MC samples are generated at m H = 125 GeV and are passed
through a full GEANT4 [36] simulation of the ATLAS detector [37].
The simulated samples have additional pp collision events, pile-up,
simulated by Pythia 8.1 added and weighted such that the average
number of interactions per bunch-crossing is the same as in data.
The cross sections for t t H production were calculated at NLO
in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) [7,9,38,39]. The cross sections
for t Hqb production are calculated for different values of t at LO
using MadGraph with the renormalization and factorization scales
set to 75 GeV, and with a minimum p T,q requirement of 10 GeV,
consistent with the generated MC samples. LO-to-NLO K-factors
are obtained by comparing the LO cross sections with the NLO
cross sections calculated using MadGraph5_aMC@NLO. The cross
sections for W t H production are calculated for different values
of t at NLO using MadGraph5_aMC@NLO with dynamic renormalization and factorization scales. Interference effects with t t H
production are not considered, but are believed to be small given

that W t H is produced mostly without a second high-p T b-quark


in the nal state.
The cross sections for ggF production were calculated at nextto-next-to leading order (NNLO) in QCD [4045]. In addition,
QCD soft-gluon resummation up to next-to-next-to-leading logarithms [46] is adopted to improve the NNLO calculation, and NLO
electroweak (EW) corrections are applied [47,48]. The cross sections for VBF production were calculated including NLO QCD and
EW corrections [4951]. In addition, approximate NNLO QCD corrections are applied [52]. The cross sections for W H and Z H
production were calculated at NLO [53] and NNLO [54] in QCD.
Moreover, NLO EW corrections [55] are applied.
The theoretical uncertainties on the Higgs boson production
cross sections come from varying the renormalization and factorization scales and from uncertainties on the parton distribution
functions [26,5658]. The Higgs boson decay branching fractions
are taken from Refs. [5962] and their uncertainties are compiled
in Refs. [63,64]. A summary of the cross-section values and their
uncertainties is given in Table 1.
4. Object and event selection
4.1. Object selection
Photons are reconstructed [65] from clusters of cells in the
electromagnetic calorimeter in the region || < 2.37 excluding the
transition region, 1.37 < || < 1.56, between the barrel and endcap
calorimeters. Unconverted photons are required to have no tracks
associated with them; clusters from photons converted in the material between the production vertex and the calorimeter are allowed to have one or two associated tracks. The energies of the
clusters are calibrated, separately for unconverted and converted
photon candidates, in order to account for energy losses upstream
of the calorimeter and for energy leakage outside of the cluster.
Photons are required to pass a set of selection requirements on
the reconstructed shower shape as well as the following isolation
requirements: the sum of the p T of all particles
featuring tracks

with p T > 1 GeV in a cone of size R ( )2 + ( )2 = 0.2
around
the photon is required to be smaller than 2.6 (2.2) GeV for
the s = 8 TeV (7 TeV) data. Tracks from converted photons are
excluded from the sum. Moreover, the sum of the E T values in the
calorimeter cells in a cone of size R = 0.4 around the photon is
required to be smaller than 6 (5.5) GeV for the 8 TeV (7 TeV) data.
The calorimeter isolation is corrected for photon energy leakage.
It is also corrected event-by-event by using the ambient energy
from pile-up and the underlying event [66,67]. Only events with
two photons are retained and a diphoton vertex is reconstructed

by a neural-network-based algorithm [68], which uses as input the


trajectories of the two photons and the tracks associated with different vertex candidates. The photon trajectory is determined from
the longitudinal prole of the photon shower in the calorimeter,
the average pp collision point, and for converted photons from the
direction of the associated tracks. The leading (subleading) photon
is required to have E T > 0.35 m (0.25 m ), and the diphoton mass is required to be between 105 GeV and 160 GeV.
Electrons are reconstructed [69] from clusters of cells in the
electromagnetic calorimeter with an associated track. Only clusters
in the region || < 2.47 are considered and are required to fulll
requirements on their shape to be consistent with an electron. The
electron E T has to be larger than 15 GeV. In addition, electrons
must be isolated: the E T in a cone of size R = 0.4 around the
electron and the sum of the transverse momenta of the tracks in
a cone of size R = 0.2 around the electron must be smaller than
20% and 15% of the electron E T , respectively.
Muons are reconstructed [70] by combining tracks in the inner
detector with tracks or track-segments in the muon spectrometer.
Muons are required to satisfy || < 2.7 and p T > 10 GeV and have
to be isolated: muons closer than R = 0.4 to a jet or to one of
the two photons are not considered. Moreover, the E T in a cone of
size R = 0.4 around the muon and the sum of the transverse momenta of the tracks in a cone of size R = 0.2 around the muon
must be smaller than 20% and 15% of the muon p T , respectively.
Jets are reconstructed from clusters of cells in the calorimeter
with the anti-kt algorithm [71] with a radius parameter of 0.4.
They are calibrated to the hadronic energy scale [72], and only
those with p T > 25 GeV and || < 2.5 are considered. The jet
energy is corrected for energy deposits from additional soft interactions in the event [73]. In order to suppress jets from additional
interactions, the jet vertex fraction (JVF) must be larger than 50%
for jets with p T < 50 GeV and || < 2.4. The JVF is dened from
the summed track p T as the fraction associated with the primary
diphoton vertex, where all tracks with p T > 0.5 GeV matched to
the jet are considered.
Jets containing b-quarks are identied with a neural-networkbased b-tagging algorithm, which combines variables from impact
parameter, secondary vertex and decay topology algorithms evaluating the track parameters associated with the jet [74]. Three
different working points (WP) with eciencies of 60%, 70% and
80% for identifying b-jets are used for 8 TeV data. For 7 TeV data,
a slightly different optimization of the b-tagging algorithm with
a WP corresponding to an eciency of 85% is used. The b-tagging
and mistagging eciencies are measured in data using dijet and
t t events [75].
The magnitude of the missing transverse momentum in each
event, E Tmiss , is calculated using clusters of cells in the calorimeter. Corrections are applied for identied photons, electrons, muons
and jets according to special E Tmiss object identication requirements [76].
In order to avoid double-counting of reconstructed objects,
electrons with a distance in space smaller than 0.4 to one
of the two photons, R (e , ), are not considered. In addition, jets
with R ( jet, ) < 0.4 or R ( jet, e ) < 0.2 are removed.
4.2. Event selection
In addition to the requirement of two good photons satisfying
the criteria described in Section 4.1, two different event selections
were optimized in order to eciently select leptonic t t H events
(leptonic category) as well as all-hadronic t t H events (hadronic
category). The optimization targeted an optimal expected limit on
the signal strength tt H in case no evidence for t t H production
is found. However, the requirements for the leptonic category are

the sum of all Higgs boson production processes. The numbers of tted continuum background events (N B ) for the 7 TeV and 8 TeV data are also shown, where N B is the
integral of the continuum background in the m range 120130 GeV, which is determined by an unbinned signal-plus-background t to all categories with one common
scale factor for the H normalization. The uncertainty on N B is the statistical uncertainty calculated from N B = N tot N B / N tot , where N tot is the total number of
background events in the full m range 105160 GeV estimated from an unbinned signal-plus-background likelihood t, and N denotes the Poisson uncertainty on N.

kept loose enough in order to also allow high selection eciency


for t Hqb and W t H production.
In this analysis, we assume that the top quark only decays to
a W boson and a b-quark. The leptonic selection targets both the
single-lepton decays of the t t pairs, where one of the W bosons
decays leptonically and the other one decays hadronically, and the
dilepton decays of t t pairs, where both W bosons decay leptonically. Events are selected by requiring at least one electron or
muon, at least one b-tagged jet using the 80% (85%) WP for 8 TeV
(7 TeV) data and E Tmiss > 20 GeV. The E Tmiss requirement is imposed
to reduce backgrounds from nal states without top quarks and it
is not used for events with two or more b-tagged jets. Events with
an electronphoton invariant mass in the range 8494 GeV are rejected in order to reduce the background contribution from Z ee
events with one electron misidentied as a photon.
The hadronic selection targets events where both W bosons,
from the top quark decays, decay hadronically. No electrons or
muons may be identied in the event. Events must fulll requirements on the number of jets and the number of b-tagged jets. For
the 8 TeV dataset three sets of requirements are dened, out of
which at least one must be satised for an event to be considered:
1. At least six jets, out of which at least two must be b-tagged
using the 80% WP.
2. At least ve jets with an increased p T threshold of 30 GeV, out
of which at least two must be b-tagged using the 70% WP.
3. At least six jets with an increased p T threshold of 30 GeV, out
of which at least one must be b-tagged using the 60% WP.
These requirements were optimized to suppress in particular the
contribution from ggF Higgs boson production with H to
the hadronic category, while retaining good sensitivity to t t H production. For the 7 TeV dataset only events with at least six jets, at
least two of which are b-tagged with the 85% WP, are considered.
Table 2 summarizes the expected numbers of events in each
category for m H = 125.4 GeV, the Higgs boson mass measured by
the ATLAS Collaboration [68]. The breakdown into the different
Higgs boson production processes is given. The combined selection eciencies in the 7 TeV and 8 TeV data for t t H production at
m H = 125.4 GeV are approximately 14.6% and 14.8%, respectively.
For SM t Hqb (W t H ) production the combined selection eciencies for 7 TeV and 8 TeV are approximately 6.2% (12.9%) and 6.2%
(11.9%), respectively.
5. Analysis
In order to separate processes involving H decays from
the continuum background, a localized excess of events is searched
for in the m spectrum around m H = 125.4 GeV. Probability
distribution functions for the H resonance and continuum background m distributions are dened in the range of
105160 GeV as described below, and the numbers of Higgs bo-

son and continuum background events are estimated from an unbinned signal-plus-background likelihood t to the full m distributions in the leptonic and hadronic categories. Systematic uncertainties are taken into account as nuisance parameters, which are
tted within their external constraints.
The sum of a Crystal Ball function [77] and a Gaussian function
is used to describe the m distribution from H decays obtained from MC simulations [78]. The Gaussian function accounts
only for a small fraction of the total H resonance signal,
describing small tails of the shape which cannot be characterized
by the Crystal Ball function. The parameters of these functions
are interpolated between the values tted to a series of MC samples generated in steps of 5 GeV in m H , in order to allow for the
evaluation of the resonance shape for intermediate masses including m H = 125.4 GeV, where MC samples are not available. The
relative fraction of the Gaussian component with respect to the
full H resonance shape is not varied as a function of m H .
Shapes with different parameter values are dened for the 7 TeV
and 8 TeV data. The m resolution, which is quantied by half of
the smallest m interval containing 68% of the signal events, is
1.42 GeV for the 7 TeV data and 1.56 GeV for the 8 TeV data in
the leptonic categories. The values in the hadronic categories are
consistent with the ones in the leptonic categories within statistical uncertainties. The small difference in m resolution between
7 TeV and 8 TeV is due to a difference in the effective constant
term for the calorimeter energy resolution and due to the lower
level of pile-up in the 7 TeV data [68]. The m resolution is
dominated by the photon energy resolution. The small change in
acceptance for t t H production is interpolated using MC samples
generated with different hypothesized values of m H also. For all
other Higgs boson production processes, the difference in acceptance between m H = 125 GeV and m H = 125.4 GeV is found to be
negligible.
An exponential function, ea m , with a 0 is chosen for both
categories as a model for the continuum background following the
method previously used in Ref. [5]. The choice of t function is
validated in data control regions obtained by loosening the photon identication and isolation requirements. These control regions
are dominated by jets misidentied as photons, and the systematic uncertainties derived from these control regions (cf. Section 6)
are hence only approximate. In both the leptonic and the hadronic
category, the same continuum background shape is used for 7 TeV
and 8 TeV data, because the 7 TeV data alone is not expected to
strongly constrain the parameter a given the expected low number
of events.
In the range 105 GeV < m < 160 GeV, 3 (3) events are found
in the leptonic (hadronic) category in the 7 TeV and 5 (15) events
are found in the 8 TeV data. The results of the ts for the leptonic and hadronic categories are shown in Fig. 2, separately for
7 TeV and 8 TeV data. The tted numbers of continuum background events in a window of 120130 GeV are shown in Table 2.

and have signicant contributions to the event selection. These are W H production in the leptonic category and ggF production in the hadronic category. For
both t H production processes, the maximum uncertainty observed for all values of t generated (+1, 0, 1) is reported.

6. Systematic uncertainties
Systematic uncertainties from various sources affect both the
expected number of events for different Higgs boson production
processes and the m resonance shape. An overview of all systematic uncertainties for 8 TeV data is shown in Table 3 for t t H ,
t Hqb and W t H production. The uncertainties are also shown for
other Higgs boson production processes that do not include the
associated production of top quarks and have signicant contributions to the event selection. These are W H production in the
leptonic category and ggF production in the hadronic category.
The uncertainty on the integrated luminosity is 2.8% (1.8%) for
the 8 TeV (7 TeV) data as derived following the same methodology
as that detailed in Ref. [20] using beam-separation scans. For 8 TeV
data, the trigger eciency [79] was measured to be 99.5 0.2%.
For 7 TeV data, the eciency was measured to be compatible

+5.5, 5.4
100

with 100% within an uncertainty of 0.2%. The uncertainty in the


combined diphoton identication eciency is 1.0% (8.4%) [80] for
8 TeV (7 TeV) data. Due to the high jet multiplicity in this analysis an additional uncertainty of 4% is added to account for possible
mismodeling of the photon identication eciency. This additional
uncertainty is obtained from dataMC comparisons of electron efciencies in Z ( ee ) + jets events, where photon identication
requirements are applied to the electron clusters [81]. Analogously,
an additional uncertainty of 3% is assessed for the eciency of the
combined diphoton isolation requirement, and is added in quadrature to the nominal uncertainty of 2.3% (2.1%) in the hadronic (leptonic) category. The uncertainty on the photon energy scale [80]
was found to have a negligible effect on the expected yields. Its
effect on the peak position, however, is taken into account, but
has a negligible impact on the results. The uncertainty in the photon energy resolution translates into an uncertainty on the m

227

resolution, and is based on the resolution measured with Z ee


events [80]. The total m resolution uncertainty is 12% for both
the 7 TeV and 8 TeV dataset, which is less than 0.2 GeV.
The uncertainties due to the lepton reconstruction, identication, isolation, and energy/momentum scale and resolution combine to less than 1% for all channels. Uncertainties on the jet energy scale are taken into account, as well as uncertainties on the
jet energy resolution, and on the modeling of the JVF and of the
b-tagging eciencies. All object uncertainties which change the
energy or momentum of the corresponding objects are propagated
to the E Tmiss calculation, and additional uncertainties are taken into

account for energy deposits which only enter the E Tmiss calculation,
but are not part of other objects.
Systematic uncertainties due to the choice of the continuum
background t model are estimated by tting continuum background distributions in control regions with a Higgs boson plus
continuum background model and quantifying the apparent number of Higgs boson events introduced [5]. The systematic uncertainty is chosen to be the maximal apparent number of Higgs
boson events in a narrow mass range around 125.4 GeV. Since the
contributions from different background processes in the control
region may be different from their contributions in the four categories, the estimate of this uncertainty is approximate, but its
impact on the nal results is very small. An uncertainty of 0.24
(0.16) events is estimated in the 8 TeV hadronic (leptonic) category as the apparent number of Higgs boson events under the
Higgs boson peak. For the 7 TeV dataset, uncertainties of 0.12 and
0.01 events are estimated, where all of these numbers have a nonnegligible statistical component from the limited number of events
in the control regions considered. The number of events is lowest
in the control region for the hadronic category in 7 TeV data (266
events).
The theoretical uncertainties on the different Higgs boson production cross sections due to uncertainties in the PDF, missing
higher-order perturbative QCD corrections estimated by varying
the renormalization and factorization scales, and the BR( H )
are detailed in Refs. [26,5658,6264,82].
Additional uncertainties are included in MC modeling in Table 3. These take into account changes in the acceptance when the
renormalization and factorization scales are varied, an uncertainty
on the modeling of the underlying event, which is conservatively
estimated by comparing MC samples with and without multiple
parton scattering, and an uncertainty due to the limited number of events present in the MC samples after the event selection
and categorization are applied. Moreover, uncertainties of 100% are
assigned to the expected numbers of events from ggF, VBF and
W H production in association with additional b-jets. The size of
these uncertainties is motivated by recent measurements of t t and
vector-boson production in association with b-jets [83,84].
7. Results
In total, 5 candidate events with m in the range 120130 GeV
are found in the leptonic and hadronic categories. The total expected yield of Higgs boson production is 1.3 events compared to
1. 3
a continuum background of 4.6+
0.9 events (see Table 2). The m
spectra for the candidate events are shown in Fig. 2 together with
the tted continuum background and the total contribution from
H processes, where the signal strength, , is a parameter
common to all four categories. The best-t signal strength for all

H processes together is 1.4+
1.4 (stat.)0.3 (syst.), where the
quoted overall systematic uncertainty is derived by quadratically
subtracting the statistical uncertainty from the total uncertainty.
When the yields for all H processes, including t H production but not t t H production, are set to their respective SM ex-

present, the lines denoted by SM signal injected show the expected 95% CL limits
for a dataset corresponding to continuum background plus SM Higgs boson production. The limits are given relative to the SM expectations and at m H = 125.4 GeV.

pected number of events, a best-t value of 1.3+
1.7 (stat.)0.4 (syst.)
is obtained for tt H , which is also shown in the scan of the likelihood in Fig. 3. This best-t value of tt H is consistent with
the SM expectation of one, but does not represent a signicant
excess over the predicted background rate, and CLs -based [85]
95% CL exclusion upper limits are set for t t H production times
BR( H ). Limits are set using the asymptotic formulae discussed in Ref. [86] with the prole likelihood ratio as test statistic.
The results are found to be consistent with limits derived from
ensembles of pseudo-experiments. The observed and expected upper limits for tt H at m H = 125.4 GeV are summarized in Fig. 4 as
well as in Table 4, where the expected limits assume tt H = 0. The
non-t t H Higgs boson production modes, including t H , are xed to
their SM expectations with corresponding theory and experimental uncertainties assigned. An upper limit of 6.7 times the SM cross
section times BR( H ) is observed. Upper limits at 95% CL are
also set on the signal strength of the sum of all H processes, , and the observed (expected) limit is 5.7 (3.8).
These results are also interpreted as 95% CL limits on the
strength parameter t of the top quarkHiggs boson Yukawa coupling. Variations in t not only change the production cross sections of the t t H and t H processes, but also affect BR( H ),
and the cross sections of the other Higgs boson production processes [82]. Fig. 5 illustrates the dependence of the t t H and t H
cross sections and of the BR( H ) on t . For t = 0, the t t H

All other Higgs boson production cross sections, including the cross section for t H production, are set to their respective SM expectations. In addition, the expected limits
corresponding to +2 , +1 , 1 , and 2 variations are shown. The expected limits are calculated for the case where t t H production is not present. The results are given
for the combination of leptonic and hadronic categories with all systematic uncertainties included, and also for leptonic and hadronic categories separately, as well as for the
expected limits additionally with only statistical uncertainties considered.

process is turned off, and the top quark contribution to t H production and to the loop-induced H decay is removed, leaving
mainly the contribution from W bosons. For values of t < 0, on
the other hand, the interference between contributions from W
bosons and top quarks to t H production and to the BR( H )
becomes constructive, thus enhancing the two processes with respect to their respective SM expectations. Cancellations of the
contributions of top quarks and W bosons to the loop-induced
H decay lead to a minimum of the BR( H ) around
a value of t = +4.7. The combined selection eciency differs
slightly for the three values of t for which t Hqb and W t H MC
samples were generated. From these, the eciency at different
values of t in the range [3, +10] is calculated by combining
reweighted MC samples with t = +1, 0 and 1. The weight for
each sample is assigned in such a way that the cross-section value
from the combination follows the prediction shown in Fig. 5. The
largest relative difference with respect to the eciency at t = +1
over the entire range is found to be 14% (20%) for t Hqb (W t H )
production.
All H processes are considered and 95% CL limits
are set on the total Higgs boson production cross section times
BR( H ) with respect to the SM cross section for different
values of t . Coupling strengths other than t are set to their
respective SM values. The continuum background plus SM Higgs
boson production (t = +1) is taken as alternative hypothesis.
The observed and expected limits on t at m H = 125.4 GeV
are summarized in Fig. 6, where the observed (expected) lower
and upper limits on t at 95% CL are 1.3 and +8.0 (1.2 and
+7.8). The expected limits assume t = +1. The form of the limit
curve shown in Fig. 6 is the result of the different dependencies of the different Higgs boson production processes as well as
the BR( H ) on t . The negative log-likelihood scan of t is

are considered for the inclusive production cross section. The expected limits are
calculated for the case where t = +1. The CLs alternative hypothesis is given by
continuum background plus SM Higgs boson production.

shown in Fig. 7 and it shows that the data are consistent with the
SM expectation of t = +1. Although two different values of t exist with the same total number of expected events, there are no
double minima at zero shown in Fig. 6 because different relative
contributions from the Higgs boson production processes in different categories have lifted the degeneracy of the likelihood.

Higgs boson production in association with top

decays. Data at 7 TeV and 8 TeV corresponding
20.3 fb1 taken in pp collisions with the ATLAS

detector at the LHC were analyzed. No signicant excess over the


background prediction is observed and upper limits at 95% CL are
set on the t t H production cross section. The observed exclusion
limit at m H = 125.4 GeV is found to be 6.7 times the predicted SM
cross section. The corresponding lower and upper limits on the
top quarkHiggs boson Yukawa coupling strength parameter t are
found to be 1.3 and +8.0, which in particular constrain models
with a negative sign of the coupling.
